Why would you remote mount a turbo on a 4 cylinder car, especially one with such an aftermarket it is fairly cheap to turbo it normally? just to have something different? Then this guy has more money than brains

Re: check out this turbo setup.
REAR mount is the ----
it causes all kinds of good things like lag and pressure drops.
and they are so much cheaper and easier to do, then a standard turbo on manifold setup.
hopefully you got the sarcasm :1

Re: check out this turbo setup.
yup, you laid it on pretty thick there. Unless you have a low-boost application(5-10 psi) on an engine big enough to spool the turbo so quick that lag isn't really an issue on a such a small turbo, they are useless

Re: check out this turbo setup.
actually the car made 405hp and there is not any turbo lag especially with a 57 trim ball bearing turbo, the manifold design can also make a difference too. its just something different.

Re: check out this turbo setup.
thank you for more pics. thats not exactly remote mount like we were talking about(i.e. rear bumper mounted), still you have like 6-8 extra feet of piping for whatever reason. Like you said, manifold helps alot, but having a baller bearing turbo doesn't hurt at all
